Last month I talked about 7 lessons I learned from running an SEO agency. One of the things I’ve learned over the years is that you can command clients to pay you 6 and even 7 figures a year if your agency has brand recognition. Brand recognition also gets you more inbound inquires from c...
The canonical link element has been around for nearly 3 years. Apart from protecting your website from duplicate content, it has the power to take advantage of otherwise hard to get links. I can’t get my head around why there are so many sites with affiliate and partner programs, missing out on their most valuable links.
On Tuesday, October 18th, Google announced they'd be hiding search referral data for logged-in Google searchers. When questioned by Danny Sullivan of...
Often when client arrives in need of links, it can be fairly daunting trying to figure out how the heck you're going to get the link juice you need. Coming up with a structured plan that works is something I've been trying to improve over the last year or so, and I'm pretty sure it's something I'll be refining for many years to come.

Howdy mozzers! I'm proud to say that I attended the recent (and frankly amazing) SearchLove London conference, and that I came away with some really exciting ideas and plans. One of the key focuses of the conference was on working out how we can change our behaviour and processes to make things easier to 'get stuff done' - particularly with big clients or organisation...
If someone told you that there was a quick and easy way that many of you could improve your SERP CTR for minimal effort, you’d all stop in your tracks and give them full attention. Yet, Schema.org and rich snippets are still horribly under-utilized. Since Google (and Bing!) ...
This is the third time, I've been to an SEOmoz / Distilled SEO conference. Yet again, it proved to be a great opportunity to learn new SEO stuff, our refresh knowledge, and have a chance to network with people from all over the world.
This week we are thrilled to have Mike King join us again for another amazing Whiteboard Friday. As marketers and SEOs we all have asked our selves at one time or another how we can use Social Media to build links. Mike lays out a very scalable way to build links for just about any business.
Howdy, Mozzers. This is Russ Jones from Virante, Inc. I recently spoke at the Search Exchange conference in Charlotte, NC on the topic of programmatic, automated SEO solutions and realized that it could probably be more valuable in front of a larger audience. Of course, the attendees have a head start, so you better get to work.
I'm head of online marketing at a lead generation company which has a very large internal spend on Adwords, and we also manage Adwords accounts for other clients. I personally deal with about 70 campaigns, so looking at them all weekly needs to be done efficiently. This is a very step-by-step guide on how we operate daily to do so efficiently without wasting hundreds of hours lost in the world of statistics! It applies to the Search Network, not the Display Network.
SEOs don't talk about advertising much, perhaps because it's the conceptual opposite of “great content.” The truth is, advertising is the gasoline that runs much of the web. Without ad revenue, great sites we love like Search Engine Land, Smashing Magazine, and even Wired might...
Illustrated London News has a 170 year history as a content and print company. Recently we made the obvious move to bring one of our print publications online - PODIUM an intelligent view of sport. Read how I decided to abandon the un-loyal scraps of long-tail search and to Design for Social.
For many SEO professionals, on-page optimization is back to basics. But sadly, there seem to be a lot of us who still make some very basic mistakes. In this post, I'll try to add on to my previous writing on perfecting on-page optimization by sharing some visuals that can hopefully help to hammer key points of the practice home.
I had a website with some placeholder stuff for some time and recently I updated it with proper content. The spider bots had crawled and indexed the earlier content before, and not only that also ascertained a certain crawl frequency for that domain which was obviously quite low.
